I don't think it has broken my config. The best guess I can do
from what I remember is that I had swapped left and right peer in
my old config (copied same config file for both sides of the
connection) which the old openswan version obviously has tolerated
and the new one - correctly - doesn't anymore.

But the bug report wasn't about breaking my config but about not
to tell me what keyword in my config is obsolete. If you have a
running configuration such a message doesn't matter much. But when
your configuration is broken such a message adds confusion as you
don't know if it's the reason for the break or not. Sorry for
beeing misleading there.

I still consider it a bug when a program complains about obsolete
keywords and then tell you "null" instead of the name of the
keyword. It either should not try to tell you the name at all or
- of course more user friendly - tell the correct name.

But you are right, severity of the bug rather should have been
minor. I'll change it.

Uwe
